AD nock ???
« on: October 27, 2009, 05:54:00 AM »
Wondering what people are using instead of the supplied nocks. Seem to remember available alternatives-the 5/16 adapter from Raptor and what else is available.
 Recall people saying the supplied nocks split easily. Picked up the black Trads and would like some input.
 Thanks in advance.

You can use the nock adapters and then 9/32 nocks will glue on.I like to use Easton ACC 3-28 uni-bushings and then use Easton G-nocks with the large groove .098.I use this set up on all my AD's,fits my strings great and stronger nocks.

You can also use the Grizzly stick tapered nock, perfect fit, much better nock and considerbly cheaper than uni-bushings and g-nocks.

Tom, not sure how I missed this post.. I have only had a little trouble with the arrow dynamic nocks busting. I have had three do this after hitting something hard. No problems with regular shots into targets etc. This is out hundreds and hundreds of shots.

uni-bushings/GS adapters cut-off and G nocks are a great combination.  Buy the G-nocks in Easton large groove & small groove, the Bohning version which is in-between the Easton sizes, you can even order differeent sized Beiter nocks.  You can really tune for the very best serving & nock fit - not too tight, not too loose.

Thanks for all the answers, will try the nocks that come with them on a couple and see how tough they are-some of the stumps here are hard as rocks. If that doesn't work will try some of the alternatives suggested.
 Shawn, out of season fun is stumping and busting arrows is not my idea of a good time. Have a bucket full of aluminum tomato stakes and don't think the carbon is good around plants,lol.
